Photo of white man. "Tom" dialogue about AIDS & daughter. Folds in 1/4th. 22 x 16

"Talk About AIDS. Your Daughter Worries About AIDS.

Tom: AIDS is not even in the picture for my daughter.

Why not?

Tom: She’s got boys and books and ballgames on her mind. Not AIDS.

Are you sure?

Tom: Yes.

She’s probably heard a lot about AIDS.

Tom: I’ll tell you, my girl isn’t worried about AIDS because I haven’t scared her by talking about it.

What if she’s heard rumors that scare her?

Tom: She would come and talk to me, I guess.

When you talked about sex with your dad, did you ever start the conversation?

Tom: No, he did.

Does that tell you anything?

Tom: I need to talk to my daughter.
